OUR RESTORED WAGEMAKER WAS CHOSEN AS WOODY BOAT OF THE WEEK- Which we sold on eBay!

~ Our eBay Niche is Vintage-to-New Boats &  Marina Related ~

 

 

We are particularly passionate about Vintage Aluminum Boats, motors, and parts, along with Aluminum Boat Repair.  …though we occasionally dabble in a few other odd and ends. 

 

We are a husband and wife team working out of our home in Ada, Michigan (a West Michigan N.E. suburb of Grand Rapids).  We have been building our eBay business since 2002, and have loved (almost) every minute of it! 

 

We pride ourselves in presenting fully researched and honest listings.  We are often mistaken for a corporation as we strive to design professional looking listing descriptions.

Whic is why we stress that we are a home-based 'Ma & Pa' Shop. We strive to go beyond the average, by providing background information, specs, and details beyond what is required.  We try to take the best possible listing photos to honestly and thoroughly represent each item that we sell, for our prospective buyers to peruse.

 

AN EXAMPLE OF OUR WORK ON AN ALUMINUM FISHING BOAT

 

Another unique aspect to our marine-related niche is in the area of Aluminum boat repair.  We use Pneumatically-Driven Solid Aircraft Riveting techniques on our aluminum boats --a skill, we are told, that is becoming a rare art and difficult service to come by.  Another area in which we work well as a couple--  “I know when my husband [Chuck] calls up the stairs of our Bi-Level home, ‘Rosie?’, it means for me [Denise] to put on some work jeans, a T-shirt, and ear protection to help rivet a boat. I operate the Rivet Gun (pneumatic driver)  and Chuck positions the bucking bar from the other side on wide beam areas that are impossible for one person to reach to both sides...  We then work together to accomplish a professional riveting project…the ‘Rosie’ reference of course to the WWII ‘Rosie-the-Riveter’

 

Our goal is to treat you, as part of our eBay community, in the same 5-star, respectful, and honest fashion in which we appreciate being treated.

 

Our Feedback reflects this and we hope that you will take a moment to browse through a few of them!  The majority of our customer base has been filled with wonderful people, like you!  Unlike many e-Bay Sellers, we actually have the privilege of meeting many of our buyers in person, due to the local pickup nature of boats and motors!  Even the correspondence we share with our buyers having items shipped to them, has been really interesting for us and serves to affirm (in our opinion) that the majority of the eBay community is truly made up of a lot of very nice, wonderful, and interesting people! 

 

We would like to thank all of our previous customers, our repeat customers, and welcome all new customers as well!
